Approve Compensation for Chief Executive Officer & President, Dr. Cristina de Jesus

GDPSC Executive Committee entered closed session at approximately 6:21 and shared that no actions were made during closed session. 

Kevin Reed made a motion to approve Compensation for Chief Executive Officer & President, Dr. Cristina de Jesus.
Peter Scranton seconded the motion.

GDPSC hired a third party consultant to conduct a comprehensive compensation study for all Central Office positions to benchmark these roles and ensure competitiveness with similar organizations. Based on the compensation study, the GDPSC Executive Committee determined that Dr. Cristina de Jesus, who has served as CEO & President for 10 years, was due a salary increase, as her compensation was no longer competitive with the market. Therefore, the GDPSC Executive Committee approved a 9.6% salary increase retroactive to September 1, 2023.  Separately, the GDPSC Executive Committee approved the creation of a Resolution, to be signed by the Board Chair at a later date, allocating an annual fund of $25,000 for Dr. de Jesus  to use at her discretion to advance her professional development, accompanied by an additional allocation of four weeks of paid time off for pursuing such professional development.

The board VOTED unanimously to approve the motion.
